Michael R.'s Story
Life
Fellow Raiders and Raiderettes,
I decided to go back to school (Strayer)t 20 years ago and changed careers. I have been working for the County of Loudoun for almost 15 years as a Systems Engineer (computer guy).
A few years ago I found another passion of mine was photography and journalism. I have worked for several newspapers as a sports writer and freelance photographer. Some highlights include shooting WVU Football and Basketball, Jerry West's Retirement, and the Redskins, one of my best shots is of the Late Sean Taylor at training camp....ST21... I was the Sports Editor for the Clarke Times Courier for five years and I have covered the LCHS Raiders for Gameday Magazine. I also run a local sports website Clarke County Sports. I am usually at a football or basketball game somewhere on Friday night..I get to Raider Field once in a while..
Back in the day I Played Keyboards and harmonica and sang backup vocals for 10 years with Raydio Flash Cab.. Still play around with recording.. All local fellows the configuration changed a few times......Stilson Greene, Tommy Orrison, Lynn Elliott, Bill Ector, Robert Dube, Dave Saunders, Mike Smedley, Rick Gessner, Greg Edmundson, ...Expand for more
and last but not least Big Gary Smallwood.....We closed alot of bars over the years..
I am currently separated from my wife Kelley, from my second marriage, don't think they'll be a third :)
I also have three grandsons Christian,Roman , and Teagan and one Grandaugher Ellie
Looking back on my school daze, I wish I would have not gotten out of school after second period my senior year. I missed out on a lot of memories like playing football so I could work at Village Bakery and buy a car....(77 Old's Cutlass Cherry Red with White Top and an 8 track player, it was one of the baddest cars on campus in 77)
I would love to hear from old friends and enemies, email me Hope we can get a reunion together, don't want our next one to be at a classmate's funeral.
(Keith Hawkins/Garry Rose/Ricky Allison, and Barry Rose four brothers gone but not forgotten)....
